About Carrie

Carrie Hammett helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and issues linked to trauma or abuse. She uses a client-centred approach and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Carrie focuses on creating an open space for clients to talk through thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions are conversational and paced to the person, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help people clarify what matters to them. Practical topics include coping with life changes, managing compassion fatigue, and support around ADHD-related challenges.

She also works with concerns such as body image and eating difficulties, attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care matters, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or cancer. Relationship difficulties, commitment worries, codependency, and separation or divorce are included in her practice.

Carrie draws on client-centred principles to support people who feel overwhelmed, empty, or stuck. The emphasis is on understanding each person’s perspective and helping them find ways to move forward that suit their situation. She invites people to take small steps and to set goals for what they want from counselling.

Her methods are conversational rather than prescriptive. She works with adults in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, people are asked to complete an online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How client-centred work translates to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and grief by prioritising their own experience and goals. Sessions are conversational and give people space to clarify what they want from counselling.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the client to decide which ways of working feel most helpful, based on the client’s needs, aims and personal preferences. This is a collaborative discussion rather than a fixed prescription.

Confirm the session formats available before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling into a busy day, avoiding travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Some formats can be better for a shorter check-in, while others are suited to longer, face-to-face-style conversations; the counsellor can explain the differences when arranging sessions.
